I've never conformed to any set of standards or rules in my life.  I don't see why I should start now!  ;) 

Yes, the scale is zeroed.

I've just posted my first Cheddar. You can see why I'm so dismayed at my yield compared to yours.

What's the elevation where you live? 9,000 feet? That might explain it.  Rarified air or something. :)

1900 feet.  I don't know why you are upset.  My cheese is the one that's abnormal!  :)

Nah, not upset. Everything's copasetic.  :)

And no, your cheese isn't abnormal...it's special.  ::)

Special like Jerry's Kids?  ;)

Flip that's good!  I'm drinking an espresso from the coffee I roasted the other day.  A bit sharp for a straight espresso so I added a little unsweetened cocoa, frothed milk and a 1/4 tsp of sugar.  That was the best Caffe Mocha I've ever had!  I don't like the the sugared to death coffees that are so popular today.

That espresso sounds good right about now. There's a slight chill in the air this morning.

I'm thinking about another Swiss too.  Homemade is so much better than store bought.

Anut, I just posted about the fantastic yield I got on Gouda yesterday.  Not sure if it is because my cow just freshened a bit over a week ago or if it is the new diet I've got her on, but I'm loving it.  Nearly 7 lbs of curd/cheese (not all would fit in the mold) from 5 1/2 gallons of milk.  Woo-hoo!

That's awesome!  It's all about happy cows!  I know the cow my milk comes from is spoiled.  Her name is Sparkles.

If you are just driving by, you can tell by the hats...happy cows wear silly hats with oversized yellow plastic flowers on them, or polka dots.  Purple is a very popular color.

Those serious, miserly cows wear black, grey or brown bowlers or tophats.  They probably grind their teeth instead of chewing bubblegum, too.
